# pdftract-1kdzu: TJ operator implementation ## Summary Implemented the `TJ` operator for PDF content stream processing with full support for: - Array parsing (alternating strings and numeric kerning adjustments) - Text matrix translation for kerning adjustments - Word boundary detection for large positive kerning values (> 0.2 * font_size) ## Implementation Details ### Files Modified 1. **crates/pdftract-core/src/graphics_state.rs** - Added `translate_text()` method to GraphicsState for horizontal text matrix translation (used by TJ kerning) 2. **crates/pdftract-core/src/content_stream.rs** - Added `process_tj_array()` function to process TJ array elements - Added `apply_tj_kerning()` helper function for kerning calculations and word boundary detection - Modified `execute_with_do()` TJ operator case to use the new functions ### Key Features 1. **TJ Array Parsing** - Correctly parses `ArrayStart` ... `ArrayEnd` delimited arrays - Handles String, Integer, and Real elements - Emits diagnostics for invalid element types (nested arrays, booleans, null, etc.) 2. **Kerning Calculation** - Formula: `kern = -n/1000 * font_size * horiz_scaling/100` - Applies horizontal translation to text matrix - Handles font_size = 0 gracefully (word boundary still triggers on n > 200) 3. **Word Boundary Detection** - Threshold: `n > 200` (equivalent to `n/1000 * font_size > 0.2 * font_size`) - Only positive kerning values trigger word boundaries - Negative kerning never triggers word boundaries - Flag is consumed by the next glyph emitted (sets `is_word_boundary = true`) ## Acceptance Criteria All acceptance criteria from the bead pass: | Criterion | Status | |-----------|--------| | `[ (Hello) 250 (World) ] TJ` produces 2 glyphs; W has is_word_boundary=true | ✅ PASS | | `[ (kern) -10 (ing) ] TJ` produces 2 glyphs; i has is_word_boundary=false | ✅ PASS | | `[ (A) 0 (B) ] TJ` produces 2 glyphs; no word boundary | ✅ PASS | | `[ (a) 500 (b) 500 (c) ] TJ` - both b and c carry is_word_boundary | ✅ PASS | | `[] TJ` no-ops (produces no glyphs) | ✅ PASS | ## Tests Added 13 new tests in `crates/pdftract-core/src/content_stream.rs`: 1. `test_tj_array_with_strings_only` - Basic TJ with strings only 2. `test_tj_array_with_large_positive_kerning` - Word boundary trigger (250 > 200) 3. `test_tj_array_with_negative_kerning` - Negative kerning, no boundary 4. `test_tj_array_with_zero_kerning` - Zero kerning, no boundary 5. `test_tj_array_with_multiple_large_kerns` - Multiple boundaries 6. `test_tj_empty_array` - Empty array produces no glyphs 7. `test_tj_with_kerning_at_threshold` - Exactly 200 (no boundary) 8. `test_tj_with_kerning_just_above_threshold` - 201 (boundary triggered) 9. `test_tj_outside_bt_emits_diagnostic` - Diagnostic for TJ outside BT/ET 10. `test_tj_inside_bt_works` - Pre-existing test, still passes 11. `test_tj_without_bt_emits_diagnostic` - Pre-existing test, still passes 12. `test_tj_without_bt_no_glyphs` - Pre-existing test, still passes 13. `test_tj_between_blocks_emits_diagnostic` - Pre-existing test, still passes ## Test Results ``` cargo nextest run -p pdftract-core content_stream::tests::test_tj Summary: 13 tests run: 13 passed, 2140 skipped ``` All TJ operator tests pass. ## Compilation - `cargo check --all-targets`: ✅ Clean (warnings only, pre-existing) - `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings`: ❌ Pre-existing unused imports (not related to this change) - `cargo fmt`: ✅ Applied ## References - Plan section: Phase 3.2 TJ kerning paragraph (line 1536) - Critical tests: TJ with large positive kerning, negative TJ kern (lines 1556-1557) - PDF spec section 9.4.3 Table 109 (TJ operator) ## Notes - The implementation correctly handles the sign convention from the PDF spec: positive n values insert space (move text origin backward), negative n values kern tighter. - Word boundary detection uses the simplified threshold `n > 200` which is mathematically equivalent to `n/1000 * font_size > 0.2 * font_size` but handles the font_size = 0 case gracefully. - The pending_word_boundary flag is properly scoped to each TJ array invocation and is consumed by the next glyph emitted.
